The President’s Lawyer by Laurence Robbins
I read this last fall at one of the most boring places ever (the social security office!) and it helped entertain me. Very twisty!
The Blue Hour by Paula Hawkins
This book is NOT well-loved on Goodreads, but I really liked it:
- art world themes
- women in art Virginia Woolf-style themes
- female friendship themes
- an isolated Scotland setting
Here’s my Readers Guide to The Blue Hour if you want to check it out!
New in Paperback for October 2025
God of the Woods by Liz Moore
I was a big fan of Moore’s Long Bright River and though this has a very different vibe, I really liked it!

Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
Some readers were put off by the dad energy of this one, but if you enjoy a Harlan Coben book, definitely check this one out!

This Book Will Bury Me by Ashley Winstead
This book caused some controversy due to its strong resemblance to a VERY high-profile true crime case. I thought it was really interesting and have a readers guide with book club questions!

Deadly Animals by Marie Tierney
I really enjoyed this book with a non-traditional protagonist, a young girl whose incredible insights into a local murder case impresses the detective in charge so much that he begins to rely on her.

New In Paperback for November 2025
My Sister’s Daughter and The Silent Echo by Liv Constantine (two novellas) (NEW)
I’ll be reading this one, so stay tuned for my thoughts!
The Perfect Hosts by Heather Gudenkauf (NEW)
I have read most of Liv Constantine’s books, from The Last Mrs. Parrish to her most recent, Don’t Open Your Eyes.
I am not the biggest novella fan, but I hope to try this and report back!
